Greetings on this Monday...the week after VBS! We had a wonderful week of VBS, and I want to thank all of the leaders who participated as workers...it was well worth your investment in time. We had 15 or 16 children respond to the Gospel message. Those children will now be engaged in a follow-up program with us. THANKS VBS WORKERS!!!
 
 
PERSONAL NOTE: I want to thank everyone who was involved in planning, preparation for the Sunday worship service. We seem to have solved the lighting problem from last week. Thanks to our musicians and Jan Foltz for the patriotic message in song. Very Nice!
